Jim- I can move the screen to the right with the bottom control- but everthing is blank- no avatars of msg sender etc. still a lot of boxes with x in them. seems strange it's just this computer. all my other sites still work properly.
Fred

Fred, My picture is centered. But, my boxes are squares with and x in them. Remember that there is an "under construction" notice on the top of the page. Cheers, Jim CCRR

Jim and Brad,

I have a great picture and this is my test to see if I can post. I like the blue color and highlited titles. If I come across any problems, I certainly will inform management, LOL.....

As far as Fred's problem it is being caused by the -DIV- width being hard set to 982 pixels. The problem would be solved by setting the width to 100% instead. This way anyone using 800x600 screen resolution would not have their screen cropped off on the right hand side. It may also fix his chat issue.

About the brand new look of ZCS: I like it

also the layout is perfect again, since it was disoriented this morning. What is wrong at the moment is that at some places the buttons doesn't appear, but just the alternative text for the button. This is so in the list of forums, in the threads for example the buttons under each message for a reply or a quote or such, and here the smilies are only visible in text form (Edit: I correct myself, they don't work yet...). And at the top of the page the button at the right of the Z Search field.

GreetingZ, HilZen,

Uwe

Almost all buttons missing, but not in the reply page.

Also when I come here I get the front page of the forums but I'm not logged in. I have to refresh the page and then it is OK.

The new theme is much cleaner, easier on the eyes, and loads faster. Well done.

Brad,

Set your screen resolution to 800x600 for a test and you will see what Fred's problem is.

I agree with David - new scheme is indeed a lot better than the old one !
My issue is the reverse of Fred's problem - my screen is set to 1600x1200 and as a result I get small forum in the middle of the screen with empty space either side.
I don't know much about web design, so I don't know whether you can keep both Fred and I happy?

Here's my conundrum. This should theoretically be impossible, but I see it every time I log into the site...

So the old "look" was setup for 1024 res min. It was not able to expand or contract to anything different. The new look is also designed to run in a 1024 "column". Those running higher res will see blank space on the sides just like the old site. ( I run 1920).

The problem with an auto-sizing type layout is you never know what your content will look like or where the modules will end up. Thats why most sites like google, bestbuy, facebook, etc run a fixed width. Many at 1024.

When I run the log files it looks like less than 1% of the visitors run such a low res as 800x600. So, the site is really setup for optimal viewing by mainstream visitors (no offense Fred). Maybe Fred could bump up his res a little if his monitor is big enough?

Hello Brad,

I am a bit confused when you say the old site was set up for 1024 min. Fred has been using the old site using 800x600 without these kinds of issues. Maybe a possible solution would be to set Margins at 10% and width at 80%. What do you think? Just trying to be helpful so everyone can enjoy this great site.

I've bumped up and down the resolutions-- It makes all my other sites out of sink. I'll hold on for a while but if I can't get proper screen I'll be dropping ZCS- Too bad, I've enjoyed the ride- seems technology has passed me by. I can't open the drop downs for gallery- forums- etc. they drop down but when I try to open they disappear.
Fred
I'm sure I'm not the only one but maybe the only one that is active
Thanks for trying

Fred,
Just set your resolution to 1024x768 instead of 800x600. Just a tiny bit wider. Most sites are 1024 now days anyway. You should be fine.
Whats up with the drop downs? They have not changed? Can you not click on the links when they drop down? What browser are you using? Anyone else having problems with the drop down menus?

Uwe,
I fixed the search box at the upper right.

Thanks for your help guys in debugging.

Brad- I have done this before- I had a computer guru's assistance--
I tried it again at 1024x768--just now and all icons get smaller as well as all text-- to top it all off I can't enter ZCS..I've reset back to old functions.
The drop downs appear and when I try to select one it disappears--
Again thanks for trying- but there is nothing I can do at this end--
Thanks again,
Fred

Fred,
There is a problem with the dropdown when using internet explorer. It appears when you click on "forums" the drop downs stop working until you click on any other page. I will look into this. I will email you directly on the resolution problem.
